The Palestinian movement of Hamas condemned the death of a Palestinian teen, who was killed by Israeli fire at a military checkpoint in eastern Al Quds Friday night.

In a press release, Hamas spokesman Hossam Badran said Saturday the crime is part of a systematic policy adopted by Israel.

The recurrent crime shows the racism and hatred of Israeli soldiers, the spokesman said.

The resistance will remain the best defensive choice, he said, urging Palestinians in Al Quds and the West Bank to take action proportionate with the crime.
